This chicken is about 14 weeks old. I think it might be a Rooster but not sure - the tail feathers have a slight green sheen on them, which makes me worried that its a rooster.

She is all girl.
Black feathers on any chicken will have a green or purple sheen. It has to do with the oils they use to stay looking so nice.



What makes you say rooster?

The bird has sickle-shaped feathers growing in, and a very red comb for that age, as well as some suspicious feathers on the back.

After reviewing the breed again.....I will change my vote to a big fat question mark.
